Some have discussed Champions Online. I threw it on the PC and had a quick look at some of the details.
It's not bad.
it's not CoH, mind you. Nothing is. But it has potential to serve as a stand-in. The plotlines seem kind of lame, but as someone pointed out elsewhere, we really haven't been grinding plotlines in ages, anyway. We do our own things.
I *do* like the personal bases. At least, I *think* it's a personal base, if I'm reading it right. I've wanted that for CoH for ages. I'm assuming it handles Supergroups in one form or another. The lack of 48 characters per server will probably hurt, but then again, I only barely used half of the slots possible on Virtue server, and it's my most heavily populated one. I can probably pare down my *actual* gamed characters to maybe 10, or less. And the FAQ said something about another character slot opening once your current one hits 40. Even if they only do that a few times, that's going to really increase what I could work with.
Characters I'd probably develop: Silhouette, Sunspot, and Foxfire are all mandatory. The rest I'd figure out.
So yes, I'm considering life after CoH. It'll hurt, but I'll get along. And when we decide to move over to the other game, I'll be there.
